“We cannot let these cowardly loudmouths win. The truth must be fully exposed and justice swiftly and publicly served; these are the only ways out of this mess.” Scott Dworkin newsweek.com/sorry-kevin-mc…

If we had an AG, she would be under investigation.

Is DeJoy gone yet? Is Trump in jail? Is Paxton going to trial? Is Gaetz indicted? Who disabled panic buttons? Why has Wray not resigned? Any updates on Trumps legal woes in NY? Why is DeSatan still king of Florida? Why is the filibuster still a thing? Is Nunes still suing co…

“What use is it to us that we have broken the aristocracy of the nobles, if that is to replaced by the aristocracy of the rich?” — Jean-Paul Marat (~1790)

“... all the artificial passions which the imagination can create in the bosom of a happy and peaceful land are agitated and brought to light.” — de Tocqueville

“The fiercest opponents [of direct and reformative democracy] consistently come from the camps of the political parties and the commercial media” — David van Reybrouck

History will not be kind to Kyrsten Sinema.

In every counter-terrorism effort I've been involved in we targeted the funding, yet that seems like the one thing we either do poorly or not at all on the domestic front. Ask yourself why that is.

Huh. It's almost like you could write an entire book about how affluence and peace and high living standards actually create the bored middle classes that end up trying to tear down liberal democracy

I do not like the frying pan.
